Tana Amen Shares Her Journey Of When She Was First Diagnosed With Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, or PCOS, is a common disorder that affects women of reproductive age. It is a hormonal disorder that affects the ovaries and can lead to infertility, obesity, and other health issues. Tana Amen, the wife of renowned psychiatrist and brain health expert Dr. Daniel Amen, recently shared her journey when she was first diagnosed with PCOS.

The Early Symptoms Of PCOS

Tana Amen, a New York Times bestselling author and health and wellness advocate, shared that she had started experiencing symptoms of PCOS at a young age. She had always been active, but with the onset of her symptoms, Tana began to gain weight and feel sluggish.

“I remember feeling tired all the time,” she shared. “I would go to bed early but still wake tired the next day. It was like I was dragging myself through the day.”

Tana also experienced irregular periods, acne, and mood swings. She also noticed that she would have intense cravings for sugary foods, which would lead to weight gain.

The Diagnosis Of PCOS

After consulting with several doctors, Tana was finally diagnosed with PCOS. At the time, she was devastated, as the doctors had told her that she would have trouble conceiving and would need to manage her symptoms for the rest of her life.

However, Tana did not give up hope. She started researching PCOS and ways to manage its symptoms. She found that exercise and a healthy diet could improve her symptoms and even help her conceive.

Managing PCOS Symptoms

Tana started making changes to her diet and exercise routine. She eliminated sugar and processed foods from her diet and started eating whole foods. She also started exercising regularly and found that high-intensity workouts helped her manage her symptoms better.

“I found that exercise helped me manage my mood swings and cravings,” she said. “Even if I were feeling down, a good workout would always lift my mood.”

Tana also started using natural supplements to manage her symptoms. She found that supplements like magnesium and vitamin D helped her manage her PCOS symptoms better.

The Result Of Managing PCOS

After making these lifestyle changes, Tana noticed a significant improvement in her symptoms. She started losing weight, her acne cleared up, and her mood swings subsided. She also noticed that her periods became regular, which she had not experienced in a long time.

Furthermore, Tana could conceive naturally and gave birth to three healthy children. “Managing my PCOS symptoms was not easy, but it was worth it,” she said.

Final Thoughts

PCOS is a common disorder that affects many women worldwide. It can lead to infertility, obesity, and other health issues. However, lifestyle changes make it possible to manage its symptoms and lead a healthy and fulfilling life. As Tana Amen’s experience shows, it is possible to overcome PCOS and live your best life with the right mindset and tools.
